What is ISO 13131?

ISO 13131:2021 is an international guideline that offers a comprehensive framework for planning, delivering, managing, and continuously improving telehealth services. It ensures healthcare providers meet recognized quality and security standards when offering remote consultations, diagnostics, and treatments through digital platforms. While ISO 13131 is not certifiable by default, it supports integration with certifiable standards like ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 27001 (Information Security) to strengthen your organization’s performance and patient trust.

Growth Management Corporation provides expert ISO 13131 consulting, documentation, implementation guidance, training, and audit preparation to help you align with global telehealth standards.

Why is ISO 13131 important?

The need for ISO 13131:2021 has grown due to the increasing adoption of remote healthcare services accelerated by pandemics, aging populations, and technological advancements. Without a formal standard, telehealth practices risk inconsistencies in service quality, patient data protection, and legal compliance. ISO 13131 bridges this gap by offering structured, best-practice guidelines for telehealth governance and execution.

Choosing ISO 13131 consulting from Growth Management Corporation ensures your telehealth operations are robust, scalable, patient-centered, and compliant with local and international health data regulations.
